Hello everyone,
It is a great pleasure to welcome you to PRIA International Academy for its specialised distance education certificate course in International Dimensions in Adult Education and Lifelong Learning. The Course has formally begun from today 17th January, 2014.
I invite your attention to some essentials of the Moodle and important general instructions. It may seem overwhelming to you at first but as we progress we will get the hang of it in no time.
I would be posting messages in Discussion Forum relating to important announcements as well as course discussions.
I would like you to share a brief description of yourself. You may include any information you feel is relevant and important for your peers/students to know. This may include, but is not limited to:
1. Your reasons for taking up this course
2. Your current or recent work and/ or educational experiences
3. Where you are currently living
4. Languages you speak
5. Your hobbies and interests
6. Anything else!!!
You can post questions, comments, concerns you have, about the course, under Discussion Forum. Your questions as well as the responses to them will be public, that is, all the students will be able to see this information. In case you have questions related to administrative issues, which are not for public circulation, then please email them to mpant@pria.org ; education@pria.org ; piall@pria.org .
Even if you do not have any questions of your own, please read all of the postings to understand the underlying issues emerging from the queries/ discussion points of other students as well as the responses to each queries. You can respond to the queries/discussion points/responses put forward by other students/course instructor/guest faculty, clarify or argue to present your perspective.
You can learn more about Moodle under Navigation Help. In case of any queries and difficulties in accessing Moodle please write an email through the link provided under Technical Support on the course home page and we would try to address it as quickly as possible.
Learning along with others, sharing the ideas and experiences is exciting as well as challenging but let’s take up this challenge to make this learning experience very enriching for all of us!
Let me welcome you once again and wish you success in the programme.
With best wishes,
Mandakini Pant
